Parmesan is a straw-coloured hard cheese with a natural yellow rind and rich, fruity flavour. It…

Method

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fry the bacon pieces in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish for 3-5 mins until golden and crisp. Stir in the onion and butter and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Tip in the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine if using and cook for 2 mins until absorbed.

Add the cherry tomatoes and the hot stock, then give the rice a quick stir. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bake for 18 mins until just cooked. Stir through most of the Parmesan and serve sprinkled with the remainder.

Well, my result looked exactly like the picture and tasted great. But I have to say, the effort involved was really no less than making risotto the normal way. Admittedly, I had an issue with the quantity of liquid. I was cooking for 1 and dividing all the quantities by 4 never works properly, so I had to keep checking it and adding more liquid - so, basically the same as cooking it on the stove but you need oven gloves! The result was very tasty though, and the only thing I would do differently next time, would be to add some petit pois for the sweetness and colour.

Great recipe. Love it that it is mainly store cupboard ingredients, so easy to make when you havent bought much in. Love this recipe and we have it regularly. I used need to cook it for 40 mins though until the stock is absorbed as put into cold casserole dish to go into oven.

Yummy. This is a real lunchtime/cold weather comforting nosh. It doesn't have loads of flavours but you can add whatever you like to enhance. I added some chopped red peppers and peas. Also think it would be v delicious with some cooked shredded chicken.

Well, I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out absolutely disgusting - a watery, revolting mess. Shan't be using this site again for any recipes - don't have the time to re make any meal. Thought ths was quick and easy - what a disappointment. Will stick to my own recipes from now on. Thoroughly disappointed.Pauline (and goodbye to this site forever).

I have made numerous recipes from this site, including this one and each time they have been fantastic. I have made this risotto more than once and have passed it on to other people who have also loved it.
